A Q&A with Non Talkers

Heartfelt pop folk with rich harmonies…

What’s the title of your latest release, and what does it mean to you?
Our latest release is ‘Weight of Doubt’. It’s a song about resilience – about moving forward even when uncertainty feels heavy. It represents a new chapter for us as a band, a reminder that music can transform doubt into strength.

What was the hardest part about putting this release together, and why?
The hardest part was balancing the intimacy of the song with a production that could carry its emotional weight. We didn’t want to lose the raw feeling, but at the same time we wanted it to sound uplifting and powerful. Finding that middle ground took time and a lot of reflection.

Who produced the release – what did they bring to it? If you produced it yourselves what do you enjoy most about producing your own material?
We produced ‘Weight of Doubt’ ourselves. What we enjoy most about producing our own material is the freedom to experiment until the song feels authentic. It allows us to chase the emotion without compromise, and that’s very important for us.

What do you want the listener to take away from listening to your music?
We want listeners to feel that our songs are an emotional space where they can find themselves. Whether it’s hope, melancholy, or strength, we hope the music resonates with their own life stories.

How does a track normally come together? Can you tell us something about the process?
Most of the time, a song begins with a lyric or a melody line that reflects something personal. Marco usually brings the initial draft, and then we work together to shape it – Evita’s perspective often brings out new layers of meaning. We like to let songs breathe and evolve naturally rather than forcing them into a mold. In the case of ‘Weight of Doubt’, the process was even more collaborative. Alex Carvalho, a pianist who performs with us and occasionally joins us in the songwriting, played a major role. He took Marco’s initial idea and transformed it into something completely different — something unexpected and exciting that opened up new directions for the song. It was a reminder of how powerful collaboration can be in bringing a song to life.

What band/artists have influenced you the most since you started this project, and why?
We’ve been influenced by a wide range of artists, from Neil Young and Bob Dylan to Fleetwood Mac, The Lumineers, and Janis Joplin. They all share a common thread of authenticity and strong songwriting, which is something we always strive for.

What countries would you like to tour? Are there any standout venues you’d like to play in?
We would love to continue touring across Europe – especially Spain, Germany, Belgium, and the UK – but also dream of reaching audiences in the US and Japan. As for venues, iconic places like the Royal Albert Hall in London or Carnegie Hall in New York would be dreams come true, but what matters most to us is the connection with the audience, whether it’s in a small theatre or a big hall.

If you could pick one track for our readers to listen to in order to get a taste of your music, what would you pick, and why?
We would pick ‘You Don’t Remember Anymore’ or ‘Lovin’’. Both songs carry that powerful emotional flow that we feel defines Non Talkers. They move receptive souls, balancing intimacy with intensity, and show how we like to connect directly through emotion.

What ambitions do you have for the band/your career?
Our ambition is simple but profound: to reach more hearts with our music. We want to grow our touring across Europe and beyond, building meaningful connections with audiences. For us, success is not only measured in numbers, but in the depth of impact our songs can have.

Finally, as you leave the stage, what are your parting words?
“Thank you for sharing this moment with us – take the songs with you, make them yours, and never stop believing in the power of music.”
